Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I believe the department is perhaps overextending this community empowerment movement. We are not talking about community empowerment, we are talking about regional empowerment at this point whereby as the Minister identified this government is in fact suggesting turning over all services in the Keewatin over to this particular proposed regional government structure. Obviously this would have a major impact on Nunavut government if it was in fact put in place. Therefore, I am wondering whether or not this department considers it appropriate since Nunavut is going to be a reality in eighteen months. Is it appropriate that we at this time are introducing a new form of government that they have not even discussed at NIC or the Interim Commissioner level? Thank you.
